The invention relates to a pipe clip as deern buildings; to furnish tothe trade a fitting.

adaptable for mass production and therefore availableat a low price tothe consumer; to maintain wiring systems in good condition .tIlClthereby avoid short circuits and troubles frequently resulting inconflagrations; to eliminate creeping in tain the screw or otherfastening in its place; and generally to provide a reliable economicaland eflicient pipe clip.

Figure 2 is a perspective detail of the clip proper. Figure 3 is aperspective detail of the clamping base.

Figure 4 is across sectional view of the clip in engagement with a pipe.

Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the variousfigures.

' Referring to the drawings, the numeral 15 indicates the clip propermade in the shape a of a split ring of sheet metal and having thetapered flanges 16 and 17 on either side of the split 18.

pipe lines and thus re- The screw 29 is inserted through the hole 20into the cement wall 30 in the bushing 31 before the introduction of theclip into the base.-

In the operation of the invention the base is attached to the .wall orflooring and the clip proper is snapped or slidon the pipe and insertedinto the grooves of the clamping base plate and tapped, until it bindstherein, thus tightening the ring on the pipe. The stop lugs are thenknocked outwardly against the flanges of the clip proper, thereby firmlylocking the clip to its permanent place.

What I claim is 1 A pipe clip comprising a ferrule having taperingflanges on either side of a longitudinal split and a retaining wallplate having inturned flanges forming a tapered recess for said flangesand base lugs at'the wide end of said plate adapted to be turned oversaid recesses.

The clamping base plate 19 is formed of sheet metal and has the screwhole 20 and the inturned flanges 21 and 22 forming the longitudinalgrooves 23 and 24 for the flanges l6 and 17 and tapering from theingress end 25 to the binding end 26. The stop lugs 27 and 28 projectfrom the plate at the ingress 7 end 25 in alignment with the grooves 23and 24 and form stops to hold the clip securely 50 in the base.
